When will people ever learn that there's no such thing as a " free lunch?"

sounds great doesn't it - but the State will get that money in other ways. Consumer tax, Real Estate Tax, Death Tax, Personal Property Tax, Luxury Tax, Tax increases on energy (gas, electricity, oil) and more. All of those taxes already exist I know - but there can be no doubt they all will increase tremendously if they get rid of State income taxes.
My thought exactly, they'll get their tax money other ways.
Yep! As George Harrison once sang ...
@KeithThroop That song made me think that once a person (The Beatles in this case) suddenly has something of their own to lose it changes their attitude toward taxation and socialist ideologies.
@iThink Yep!
What the government needs to learn is that we know quite well how to spend our own money and they need not do it for us. Most government spending is outside the original portfolio they received.
